"WARM-UP YEAR" 2023 is coming to an end. It is applicable now to talk about a recap of the year. At the start of the year, I struggled a lot. My maths was tearing apart at school. Countless wasted time playing efootball2023 and failing the sat. I openly talk about failures because there's nothing to hide. Truth unveils! I admit that I didn't put a decent amount of effort into achieving higher results. May 2023, received first dsat score - 1280 (R 600/ M 680). Maths is crying. I know. After a week, I received an injury that cost me ten days at the hospital. It was so severe that I couldn't see clearly for a day or two. My eyes were aching after injections. It was later announced that I had a contusion in my right eye. I had to say goodbye to football for at least six months. In June 2023, I took some rest after a hospital trip to my motherland, Namangan. There, I spent time with my grandparents, uncles, aunts, and, of course, with little fellas - cousins, too. We played PS4 late at night and played football in the daylight. My June was chill time. Even before the rest of the weeks, I had two weeks of finals at the academy; I got perfect scores on every exam and took DET (125) after finals. Applied to Ibrat Camp with this result. July 2023 was the most social month for me) I met new people from Uzbekistan and the World. Socialized more than ever I did this whole year. By the way, this month, I applied to Olemiss. Waiting was lengthy but worth waiting. August 2023 was a brutal admissions season and a failed sat attempt. Though I could not get a balanced score, I was able to grasp so much regarding US admissions. Don't ask my sat score. It was less than May's result. Booked IELTS test and delayed practising. September 2023 was the time of the year you would meet your fellas from lyceum. I mean, I attended one week of studies and prepared intensively for my upcoming exam. The exam was on 23 Sep. I didn't learn writing rules and needed to do more speaking. However, doing more accessible sections helped me a lot to maintain practising. Yes, I had a feeling of dropping the 'US dream' out of my mind. But faith helped me in this challenging phase. What if it works? That was my trigger to continue and pray for the best. But do not expect anything from incomplete training. Speaking exam, I was the first to surrender the exam. I had shivers and shattered for some time. After the exam, I thought I would get a 6.0 at most because I was nervous when speaking. Primary test, I went to the centre with my dad, who stepped into the same cage a decade or more ago and conquered it with a 7.5. I stepped on it and then left. No exam discussions. Only hope. October 2023, on the 6th of this month, there came a message from the British Council saying that I received 7.0 (speaking 7.5). I was shocked because I thought I got 6 or 5,5 from speaking. That was the trigger one more time to continue working on my dream. In November 2023, I received my admissions decision from Olemiss, a full tuition scholarship with the amount of $100000 for four years. I want to express my gratitude to my brother and my bro, Shohnur, for their genuine help in my preparation for this road, and they played huge roles in this crazy endeavour. 2nd place in the hackathon organized by Kazan Federal Uni. It was an international competition for high schoolers. With my team from the Lyceum, we succeeded in it. December 2023, received rejections and scholarships from certain unis. But will not reveal them. I relaxed a little bit. I didn't do anything significant this month. However, spent more time with my family. If I make it, I will apply to other unis. But I don't think I'll. Stay true to yourself and stay hard!
